Things that are bringing me joy this week: My seeds are growing, growing, and they are officially seedlings now instead. Realising that Monday is my best Get Stuff Done day, and Thursday is my best Positive Energy day. (A weirdly consistent pattern.) Planning a cover for a 2023 non-fiction release with the cover artist 🙂 […]
Habits are so dang difficult, aren’t they? All the will in the world, and you still can’t just MAKE yourself Do The Thing that you actually really want to do. It’s terribly frustrating. Hence my lil grid of boxes at the back of my diary for the year, a tiny incentive to nudge myself onward

So the next month or two (or three) I’ll be drip-feeding through a bunch of updates on Things That Happened While I Wasn’t Posting. Today, the most exciting of those things: I won an Aurealis Award! (Somewhat amusingly, the photo below was taken on the one-year anniversary of the book’s release – I didn’t realise

Yes, I am being super dodgy this week and posting braids as a Made-It Monday. This is because a) the week has been nightmarishly busy (and the next two weeks will be worse, dang it school!) and b) actually achieving braids in this case is… an achievement. It’s late and words are hard 😛 What

(Pinterest is my mental-health go-to for social media, gonna be honest.) This may end up replacing the previously-usual Friday videos, since

Not much to add on the back of yesterday’s post, really. Moon Shot remains outlined, and I haven’t started the (re)writing of it yet. Bones Of The Sea is stalled, mostly because I’m still recovering from the intense 14 weeks of insomnia and trying to catch up with school work. I also have edits due
The first issue of Aurealis magazine (Australia’s premier sff magazine, and home of the prestigious Aurealis Awards) is out for 2021, and it features a non-fiction article on vampires by yours truly 🙂 I’m doing a series on the symbolic meaning of a variety of supernatural/paranormal/fantastical creatures for Aurealis this year (although the first one,
